Fished Lake Hodges Sunday. Bass fishing was generally slow around the lake after a hard Ford Tourney the day before.
Side note: First day out on the fresh water with my new S4S 7wt,…..what a great caster and meticulously constructed rod. This is really just an ideal San Diego oriented rod. It’s diversity to hit the carp and bass and run out on the bay or surfcast is already making it one of my favorites in the quiver because I can keep one rod in my car and be able to decide to do about anything here on a moments notice.
One good bass and a huge crappie between the group. I think the weather may have messed with the fish a bit with the sudden colder temps coupled with dropped water levels…not many fish were in the boat the day prior as well. It should happen soon. This week’s warmer temps on the way and the seasonality when things are as good as they get, will change things for the better.. Carp were every where. The water was off-color and hook ups were a struggle, but the fish were present in droves and cleaner water with the warm up should improve the bite as well. Headed back soon to make sure nothing is missed. – Kory
